Tips For Your Big Day- From The Funktion Band
Tips For Your Big Day
Ingredients needed for an amazing party are very simple.. Think about the greatest times you have ever had... chances are it was spontaneous.. alive.. and you were with the ones you love... Period!
Your party...although planned should be no different
Allow the proper ingredients to play:
You-The Company-The Entertainment
You’ve booked all your vendors, found the dress of your dreams, paid all your deposits and nabbed Mr. Right. The only thing left is The Big Day.. Every client says the same thing, cant wait for you to rock our party and have everyone dance…Every parent, best man, and bridal member know this is ultimately what Everyone is looking forward to and what will be remembered.
So lets do it.
A little planning goes a long way:
The Itineraries we create with you is a tool the venue, the band and clients appreciate dearly. In fact, we send a copy of the itinerary is sent to the Maitre D at the venue about 2 weeks prior to the big day. Most are surprised and appreciative to have received anything from the entertainment in advance. They have so much on their plate that it is a relief to have something well prepared and detailed in advance. What this paperwork accomplishes more than anything is allow the happy couple to breathe knowing all is taken care of with their input!
The timeline/itinerary is a living document and we are willing to make changes updates at the last minute- Things happen and will be prepared and are as flexible as we need to be to ensure your event is flawless. This paperwork is not attained through a 3rd party, a secretary, or an agent.
With The Funktion-You deal only with the bandleader who will be at your event.
Having done this many many times, we encourage you to put your stamp on your day. Be you and yours and create your own script! I work very closely with clients and build a wonderful chemistry that allows a clear and open channel of communication. OK- let the ideas flow and lets put your reception together!
3 Simple Things on keeping things moving:
1. All your first dances right after the introductions: Yes- You have everyones attention and they are all right there with you. More time for dancing and partying later without slowing down. Of course it is your choice and there is no right or wrong. Each song is approximately 3 minutes long.. OK – thats about 10 minutes and photo ops were had, all were present, and we keep flowing. This works very well!
2. Limit speech length to 5 minutes. Many a wedding have had very lengthy speeches. All are wonderful, heartfelt and very moving. It has happened where multiple speeches each going 10-20 minutes in length.. Food service may be delayed as well as time for dancing can be shortened considerably. A good time for more intimate speech may be the rehearsal dinner. Think of your guests as well that are excited for you and want to have a wonderful time with you..
Just something to be mindful of.
3. Remember this is a celebration of your union.. A party. Relax- Enjoy a fun and exciting day that you created
